Our Positions
Modern Islam
The term "modern Islam" is a controversial term often stirring deep passions among Muslims.
Democracy
FMC cautions the West not to try to impose Western democracy in the Middle East. The best form of government is the form of government that keeps the peace in a given society.
Terrorism
The Free Muslims believe that terror represents one of the most lethal threats to the stability of the civilized world. There is no room for terrorism in the modern world.
Economic Development
Israel/Palestine--One-State v Two State Soluion
No issue evokes the passion of Muslims and Arabs as much as the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. The Palestinian-Israeli conflict is so important to Arabs and Muslims that every political group from Morocco to Indonesia that seeks legitimacy and a following, places the "liberation" of Palestine at the forefront of their agenda.
Don't Blame the Jews or Palestinians
Another disturbing trend that is propagated by extremists and accepted by many naive Jews and Muslims is the blaming of all Muslim problems on Israel or the Jews and all Jewish problems on Palestinians or Muslims. There are numerous examples for this but most recently Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Blamed the Holocaust on Palestinians and some Muslims continue to blame 911 on a Jewish conspiracy.
Women's Rights
The Free Muslims Coalition strongly believes that equality for Muslim women is essential to the development of the Muslim world and to the defeat of extremism.
